Commvault virtual appliance – add hard disk for the index server
if you using the preconfigured .ova appliance of the commvault CS-Linux, you may need add another disk for example for the index, is better to have dedicated disk, especially if you plan to index MS365 applications. But my recommendation is if you have more than 300 users, build a dedicated index server, it will help you with performance issues in the future.
create physical volume
sudo pvcreate /dev/sdi
create volume group
sudo vgcreate vg_index /dev/sdi
create logical volume named indexvol_lvol (mapper: /dev/mapper/vg_index_indexvol_lvol)
sudo lvcreate -l 100%FREE -n indexvol_lvol vg_index
create XFS filesystem
sudo mkfs.xfs /dev/vg_index/indexvol_lvol
create mount point
sudo mkdir -p /var/commvaultdata/Index_Server
mount the disk
sudo mount /dev/vg_index/indexvol_lvol /var/commvaultdata/Index_Server
add to /etc/fstab for permanent mount
echo „/dev/mapper/vg_index_indexvol_lvol /var/commvaultdata/Index_Server xfs defaults 0 0“ | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
verify
lsblk -f
df -h /var/commvaultdata/Index_Server
after you can add the index server in the commcell console:
